Reddit isn't too big to fail. You know how I know this?

Because no website is too big to fail.

Look at Myspace. When Myspace was big, it was the #1 website in the world or something like that. Now it's a ghost town. Same thing with Blogspot, Somethingawful, Altavista, etc. etc. etc.

Like all things, Reddit will pass.

You need to elaborate on what would deem Voat a success and Reddit failing. IMO, Voat is already a success. So far with Voat, I feel like I did with reddit years ago. Happy. There are great discussions and plenty of quality posts. Reddit has failed. It has taken on an ideology that is the same magnitude as the far right they used to brigade against. Without discussion free of name calling and other childish things, Reddit has failed.

Reddit will fall one day, this is for sure. Other bigger websites have also fell (Think MySpace, and twitter is dying right now)

But I don't hope the entire user base migrates here

Reddit it currently the 10th most popular website in the US. It will take a long time for it to fail, but as for Voat I already see it as being successful. Lots of quality discussion and there is an active community.

The smaller and more tight-knit, the better if you ask me.

That all depends on your definition of success. As long as Voat provides people with a platform to discuss anything they feel like and manages to avoid most of the larger faults that reddit and other sites have it can be considered a success. As long as people keep participating, keep discussing, keep posting threads, I don't see how it can be considered a failure.

It may never become as large or as financially successful as reddit, but the reddit model is one with serious flaws. As the years go by, these flaws will become more and more evident.
